What's important to me? My faith, my family, and my friends.
Sometimes there are books that insist on being written, so I help them along, just so I can learn what they have to say. Whenever possible, have a nice day!

Renewal

Trees are almost as pretty in the spring as they are in the fall. Some trees have lacy
green leaves that look as if they were applied to the tree with sponges and oil
paint. Other trees have beautiful blossoms. The pear trees have been blooming
here all week, with their blossoms floating through the air like warm snow.

Yesterday I saw dogwoods beginning to bloom for the first time this year.
That's my absolute favorite spring tree!

Spring is not just a season, but an emotion. It is a time
of renewal, of the earth and of the psyche. We celebrate the resurrection of
the Lord as we rejoice in the return of growing things around us.
